Love Makes the World Go 'Round

Everyday, millions of people all over the world get married. So, I thought I would try to do some research on wedding traditions from around the world.

Did you know that...

Purple is the color of love in Japan. Most brides in Japan will wear purple kimonos. But the traditional wedding color in China is red, symbolizing luck. Indian brides traditionally wear pink on their wedding day.

Pakistani weddings traditionally last FOUR days! Each day is a different ceremony.

In Indonesia, it's not uncommon to have more than 1,000 guests invited to the wedding!

Before her wedding day, it was tradition for Chinese brides to retreat into seclusion with her closest friends for a few days. (Bachelorette party anyone??!)
